SoKo's Summertime Essentials Playlist

A week after the summer solstice, we're full on into the seasonal vibes. And, it seems, we're not the only ones. SoKo is onboard too, we're glad to say, as she's shared with us a playlist to welcome these long days — morning to night. 

In it, the French singer-songwriter, musician and actress dips heavily into melodic new wave and post punk, as well as some newer offerings like Sean Nicholas Savage and her collaborator Ariel Pink. Listen to each track below or follow the playlist on Spotify.

Let these songs guide your summer days, and join us for SoKo's DJ set tonight at A Sunday Kind of Love following Knxwledge's live set Upstairs at Ace Hotel, Downtown Los Angeles. RSVP here for guaranteed entry.
